Nissan’s In Hot Water With Leaf Owners In Hot-Ass Arizona

EV batteries don’t stand up to the heat.

“Arizona Leaf owners have been complaining for a while that their cars’ batteries have no effective cooling method, causing them to prematurely lose anywhere from 25 to 40 percent of their charges on hot days. Owners in Phoenix have filed complaints, demanded buybacks and even threatened lawsuits, according to CBS 5 Arizona. And Nissan has bought back several of them under Arizona’s Lemon Laws.” [Jalopnik.com]
